The problem: Classes require students to spend money on textbooks with no dependable buy-back opprotunity at a decent buy-back price. Tragically, there’s centralized location to advertise their old textbooks to other students.
The solution: The application will create a centralized forum for students advertise and view other students’ textbooks for sell. This can include the course it’s for, condition, contact info, photos, price points.
There are multiple user roles. The student role can be anyone with a UH id, they’re allowed to make and view postings. The admin role is chosen by the site creators to monitor and filter out non-related posts.
The site will allow users to pick a specific course, i.e. biology, chemistry; this will show textbooks related to only these courses. The site can also filter textbooks by price point and condition.
If a user sees a post that was unrelated or a scam, they can report it via the report button on the list item page. This sends a report to the Admin.
